For the third time, I found myself back in Austria. This time in Vienna. I only had two days to spend here, with no real plans so this gave me a lot of freedom. I spent my time wandering. Christmas decorations were going up in the city streets, and the weather was certainly turning wintery. … More Austria again… this time Vienna 🇦🇹
Slovenia! This was a country I went kind of out of my way to visit. I wanted to experience the Slovenian outdoors firsthand, as the rivers, mountains and lakes looked stunning. I started off my trip here with a day in the capital city, Ljubljana (pronounced loo-bee-aa-nuh). Unfortunately, I timed my one day here with … More An encounter with Slovenian bed bugs 🪲😭
Budapest quickly became one of my favourite European cities! After a lot of debate over whether I would actually visit, I’m so glad I did. I enjoyed my stay here for various reasons, the city was beautiful, I absolutely loved the vibe, and the nightlife was great. If I’d had the time, I would have … More WOW!! Budapest 🥂✨
Innsbruck – a town with so much to offer, yet in which I did so little. After my time in Switzerland I was headed towards Eastern Europe, so Innsbruck was a stop on the way over. The city had a vibrant and modern atmosphere, full of students and young people. There were a lot of … More I did my laundry – in Innsbruck 🧺🇦🇹
To continue with my travels across Switzerland I took the train from Lauterbrunnen to Zermatt. Zermatt is the gateway town to the Matterhorn, sitting right below the magnificent peak. I didn’t realise that things could get even more expensive than they had been in Lauterbrunnen, but somehow they did. Zermatt is a stunning, idyllic, ski … More Guess what I did in Zermatt?!
*WARNING – this is my longest blog post ever, apologies in advance!* All I can say is that for many reasons, Switzerland felt like an alternate reality. There’s simply no other way I can describe it. Not only was it THAT beautiful, but it was also THAT expensive, it didn’t even feel real. If I … More Hiking in Switzerland! 🏔️🇨🇭
I’m catching up on these blog posts while I wait for my laundry – laundry day is well and truly over due at this point. Salzburg was unexpectedly a really great time. While I had already been planning on travelling to Salzburg following Oktoberfest, I ended up travelling there with a couple of the people … More Salzburg 🏰🎵🇦🇹
OKTOBERFEST! Now this was something I only booked a couple of weeks prior with friends I had met travelling back in London – almost 2 months ago at the start of my trip. Accomodation prices were through the roof, and I had to get from Milan to Munich, but thats all part of the fun … More Oktoberfest 🍻🍻🍻
Milan really was just another stop for me. In my mind it was a grey, dull city with little to offer. While I wasn’t exactly wrong, I was more impressed than I expected. Milan is well known for its shopping and art culture – both things I’m not hugely interested in. That being said, I … More Milan (and day trips!) 🚆🇮🇹
The Italian Alps! WOW! I could go on forever about these mountains, and I only saw the smallest section of them. Not only was this area the absolute highlight of my trip (so far) but I was also fortunate enough to spend my 22nd birthday here with friends. Even though we didn’t have the best … More Potentially my Favourite Place Ever – The Dolomites 🏔️🚠
